( he's known for a while that something is wrong — that there's something they aren't telling him — but he hasn't pushed, hasn't pressed because it isn't his right to do so in the first place. he thinks that maybe, in time, megumi or yuji or both of them will finally come clean about what they're keeping from him, and until that time comes, he has to believe they're doing it for the right reasons.
they trust him, and in turn, he has to trust their reasoning. the method to their madness. so —
he only hums a low, quiet note in the back of his throat when the demand for quiet comes, turning to rest his cheek against the top of the other's head, the way soft, dark hair tickles his nose reminding him of how he used to coerce him into hugs when he was much younger, much smaller, and it was too damned easy to hold him like this.
that, at the very least, hasn't changed.
his hold tightens infinitesimally and one hand slips up to smooth over the back of his neck, through the ends of his hair in what he hopes comes across as a soothing gesture, something that means i'll always be here for you, if i have anything to say about it.
and for once in his damned life … he's quiet, and he stays that way. )
